This week when I went grocery shopping I didn't make a list of meals that I would make like I usually do. I only had a certain amount to spend, thanks to a crappy economy and tight budget. I remember that I had some chicken in the freezer. I thought, hey, I'll make home made chicken nuggets. I remember seeing a box of Shake and bake in the pantry. When I went to pull it out it wasn't the right kind. I wasn't feeling the whole b-q thing. Then I remember a box of golden onion soup mix which I've made nuggets out of before. I read those directions and realized that I didn't have the breadcrumbs required for the recipe. As I sat stairing into the depths of my pantry I knew I could use something in there. A Stove Top Stuffing box sprung out at me. Hey, it's dried bread. So I took my rolling pin, bashed the dried bread cubes and made seasoned bread crumbs. I added all ingredients together and voila, home made chicken nuggets. Aside from the fact that I forgot to season the chicken, it was a success. Move over Sandra Lee, I'm taking over.

Hey Amberlyn! It's been a long time! I found your blog in a long round about way...too long to discuss. Anyway, it's good to see your cute family and hear that you are doing well. Good job with the cooking-I could never do that. I am a terrible cook!

Well done Amberlyn! Did the kids love them? You are an amazing pantry pioneer!
